Not to get sidetracked but what is the significance of the red right arms? Scots burn quickly in sunlight but not usually in such an isolated way.

Isn't it also not illegal to be topless. Pretty sure that one applies in Scotland as well anyway. Simply being naked isn't a crime, doing it to cause distress is though. A protest like this would be fine.

Awesome protest, but I'm not sure about the blurb ontop.

Do right-wing people deny that trans women can have breasts? I don't believe that is true in general. And do public decency laws specify that breasts can't be shown, or women can't show nipples?

Depends entirely on the language of the law, not what right wing people think. The UK isn't like the USA in this regard, or at least Scotland isn't ...yet.

Combattre les totons par les totons!

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I assume totons is boobies.

I'd bet it's also a double entendre for something that roughly means "bad guys". Assuming combattre probably has the same root as combat, the post has a cadence like "fight the transphobes with the tits!"

I also don't know French but guessing at it seemed fun

Pretty good yes. ToTon is the Québec version of têton (tits) And and calling someone ToTon is about equivalent to dumbass. It's a play on fighting fire with fire. Maybe you could changeto Guess-tephan

You're mostly right. To call someone a "toton" is an insult to that person's intelligence. It's also a derivative of the word "téton", which means tit.
"Combattre" is also effectively the verb "to fight".
